the theme of this year's inaugural is barack h. obama. i speak at the capitol dome, when abraham lincoln took office two years earlier, the dome above us was a half built eyesore. conventional wisdom is that it should be left unfinished until the war ended. given the financial needs of the time. but to president lincoln, the half finished dome symbolizing have divided nation. lincoln said that people see the capital going on, it is a sign that we intend the union shall go on. despite the conflict which engulfed the nation and surrounded the city, the dome continued to rise. on december 2, 1863, the statue of freedom, a woman, was placed atop a dome. she still stands today. in a sublime irony, it was a freed slave who helped to cast the bronze statue. our times are not as perilous or dispiriting as they were in 1863. but in 2013, far too many doubt the future of this great nation. also our ability to tackle our own eras finished domes. the times are so complex, the differences in the country in the world so deep, we will never overcome the
